Novisto Recognized as a Notable Vendor in Forrester’s 2026 Sustainability Management Software Landscape

Published on April 15, 2026 Dave Karrel

Novisto, a leader in sustainability management, is proud to announce its inclusion in the latest flagship report from Forrester Research: The Sustainability Management Software Landscape, Q1 2026. This recognition signals Novisto’s growing influence in an increasingly competitive market.

Forrester’s Landscape report provides a broad overview of the market, identifying notable vendors to help organizations prioritize their evaluation of software partners. Out of thousands of providers globally, Novisto is one of only 33 vendors recognized in the 2026 report.

Solving the Data Governance Challenge 

The report identifies a critical hurdle for modern organizations: "Data quality, completeness, and auditability across the value chain remain elusive". As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, many companies struggle to consolidate high-quality activity data from fragmented internal systems and suppliers.

Novisto addresses these "critical bottlenecks" by providing a purpose-built solution designed specifically for the rigors of modern sustainability management and reporting. Unlike legacy systems that may treat sustainability as an incremental add-on, Novisto’s platform is designed with a governance-first philosophy.

"Sustainability isn't a feature you can just 'bolt on'—it has to be in the software’s DNA. Legacy systems were built to store financial and operational data; Novisto was built specifically to govern ESG data and help sustainability practitioners drive business decisions and outcomes," said Charles Assaf, Co-Founder and CEO of Novisto. "At Novisto, we believe our sustainability-first approach is essential for companies moving from voluntary commitments to mandatory, audit-ready disclosures."

Why Being Purpose-built for Sustainability Matters

Novisto’s inclusion in the report highlights the advantages of specialized platforms in three key areas:

  • Audit-Ready Governance: Built from the ground up for financial-grade rigor, ensuring data lineage and transparency.
  • Data Completeness: Interoperable integration connects tech stacks to turn isolated data points into a single, unified ESG narrative.
  • Agile Innovation: Rapid R&D cycles allow for faster deployment of new capabilities like AI agents built specifically for sustainability practitioners.

Looking Ahead 

As the market continues to evolve, Novisto remains committed to helping sustainability teams turn performance management and manual reporting into repeatable, high-integrity processes that drive real business impact. By focusing on the unique needs of the sustainability professional, Novisto ensures that companies are not just compliant, but are also equipped to use their data to drive long-term value.
